NBAMS 8th graders just completed an elaborate painting where they learned about warm and cool colors and creating pattern. Students chose a sport or hobby they enjoy and had to work with two different shapes related to their idea. They used one shape for the main idea and repeated the other as a pattern to break up the space. Students then had to use the primary colors to mix at least 5 warm and 5 cool colors to incorporate in their paintings. Some themes represented were: soccer, pets, gymnastics, motocross racing, badminton, playing musical instruments, basketball, football, softball, hockey and even outer space! Proud art teacher is Lee Ann Falen.

This morning NBAHS honored Helen Pust, one of our students on the Speech Team, who has competed at such a high level that she earned a spot at the state speech meet and will compete starting at 10:15 am tomorrow at Shakopee High School. Helen placed 2nd in the Storytelling category at sections to earn her chance to compete at the state meet. As a way of congratulating her and sending her off with Viking warm wishes, the high school hosted a walk-through pep fest for her. Good luck Helen!
